A 26-year-old Tunisian woman experienced three acute kidney injuries after using a hair-straightening product containing 10% glyoxylic acid at a salon, leading medical professionals to caution against the potential side effects of certain hair treatments. The New England Journal of Medicine published a letter linking the product to kidney damage and urging for its discontinuation from the market, while also noting 26 similar cases in Israel. This incident adds to growing concerns about the health risks associated with chemical hair treatments, including a recent NIH study suggesting a potential link to uterine cancer.

"Salon Visit Leads to Kidney Damage for Woman"

A 26-year-old Tunisian woman experienced three acute kidney injuries after receiving hair-straightening treatments at a salon, leading medical professionals to link certain hair products containing 10% glyoxylic acid to kidney damage. The woman reported a burning sensation and scalp ulcers during the procedures, and subsequent medical examinations revealed increased plasma creatinine levels in her blood.

"Link Between Hair-Straightening Cream and Repeated Kidney Damage in Women"

A woman experienced kidney damage three times after receiving hair-straightening treatments at a salon using a cream containing glyoxylic acid. Doctors suspect the acid absorbed through her skin and reached her kidneys, causing damage. An experiment with mice showed that glyoxylic acid led to the formation of crystals in their urine, similar to those seen in people who have ingested toxic alcohol. The doctors involved in the case believe the products should be avoided and potentially discontinued from the market due to the potential dangers of using glyoxylic acid in hair-straightening or smoothing products.

"Link Found Between Hair-Straightening Products and Acute Kidney Failure"

French researchers have found that hair-straightening products containing glyoxylic acid may lead to acute kidney failure due to the accumulation of calcium oxalate crystals in the kidneys. This observation was made after testing the product on animals and studying a case of renal damage in a young woman. The researchers recommend avoiding products containing glyoxylic acid and suggest withdrawing them from the market. They also noted that cases of renal complications from these products could be underdiagnosed and are preparing a nationwide survey.
